Allow multiple users to edit in a shared calendar

Question

Monday, July 28, 2014 5:09 PM

Some co-workers and I have a shared calendar in Outlook 2010 (separate from our personal, individual calendars) and we'd all like to be able to edit (add, delete, etc) to it.  The creator of the calendar shared it with us and gave us all the appropriate permissions to be able to edit it, however, only what the creator enters/edits appears for everyone.  Anything additional or changed doesn't appear. 

For example, User 1 creates and shares the calendar.  User 2 and User 3 are given "editor" permissions.  User 2 adds an event to the calendar for all to view, but User 1 and User 3 cannot view it.  

How can we create a calendar so that User 1, User 2, and User 3 can all view and edit this shared calendar?

Thanks!

Hi,

How does User1 share the new created calendar to User2 and User3? Because the shared calendar is User2 created that is not a default Calendar, please share it by the following steps in Outlook 2010:

1. Create a new calendar in User1’s account.

2. Right-click the new calendar, click Share > Share Calendar.

3. In the Sharing invitation window, select User2 and User3 in the To field.

4. Check Recipient can add, edit and delete items in this calendar to give the recipients Editor permission.

5. Click Send to share calendar to User2 and User3.

Then User2 and User3 would receive a message in Inbox folder. They can just click Open the Calendar button to open it. Then check whether the issue persists.
